Chapter 103: Expansion
The Human Race killer that the beast tribe spoke of was, of course, Li Xiaojun.
A few years ago, Li Xiaojun entered the beast tribe’s territory and began hunting down the beast tribe geniuses.
His killing spree quickly drew the attention of the beast tribe.
Thanks to the system, which helped him block the divine sense perception of the beast tribe, Li Xiaojun’s hunts were almost always successful; no beast could detect him.
However, as he continued to hunt the beast tribe geniuses, they quickly became wise and began to hide.
In this situation, Li Xiaojun could only kill ordinary beasts.
Over the years, Li Xiaojun had lost count of how many beasts he had killed.
Yet, he couldn’t feel any joy in it.
To him, no matter how many beasts he killed, he could never make up for the loss of the Human Race geniuses that the beast tribe exterminated.
Hundreds of talented members of the Human Race, with the potential of great emperors, had been killed with a single strike by a Beast Immortal.
Every time he thought about this matter, Li Xiaojun felt immense pain in his heart.
Moreover, after that Beast Immortal killed a group of Human Race geniuses, he escaped under the pursuit of three Immortal cultivators from the Human Race.
This nearly made Li Xiaojun spit blood in anger.
Because of this, although Li Ziwei faced criticism from all her daughters and lost her status as the greatest great emperor of the Human Race, such events had already happened and could not be reversed.
Fortunately, in their eyes, even though their biological father was dead, his spirit lived on, allowing them to communicate with their sisters in the Immortal Realm and acquire cultivation resources from there!
If Li Xiaojun’s death caused everyone to lose access to these resources, it was likely Li Ziwei would face the wrath of Li Xiaojun’s other daughters.
Ever since that incident where the beast tribe attacked and exterminated a group of Human Race geniuses, the Human Race no longer risked putting all their eggs in one basket.
Once the potentials of great emperors of the Human Race were discovered, they were dispersed and personally tutored by all the Immortal cultivators of the Human Race, then arranged for training elsewhere.
Just like the beast tribe, who hid all their geniuses for fear of Li Xiaojun hunting them down, the Human Race did the same; they effectively concealed the potentials of great emperors.
Time flew by, and another decade passed.
In those ten years, Li Xiaojun killed countless beasts.
However, as he continued, he grew weary of it.
Although he instilled fear in all the beasts he killed, considering the overall number of the beast tribe, his efforts amounted to little more than a drop in the bucket.
Ultimately, Li Xiaojun came to a realization.
To annihilate the beast tribe, he couldn’t rely on himself alone; he needed the entire Human Race.
He decided to give the Human Race time to develop, waiting for the potentials of great emperors to grow.
When more human immortal barrier cultivators emerged, that would be the time to wipe out the beast tribe.
After considering all this, Li Xiaojun halted his killings of the beast tribe.
Now, instead of wasting time, it would be better to wait one or two hundred years until he breaks through to human immortal barrier and directly hunt the human immortal beast immortals of the beast tribe.
With this in mind, Li Xiaojun left the beast tribe’s territory.
……
Thirty years later.
On the border of the Human Race.
A group of people flew quickly through the starry sky.
While flying, they also used their divine sense to scan and clear the meteoric dust in the starry sky.
This was a Human Race space expansion team.
The purpose of this exploration team was to establish a teleportation route to a star system four light-years away.
As they flew, they cleared the dust to pave the way for the teleportation route.
A teleportation route required the starry sky to be free of interstellar dust and meteors; otherwise, the teleportation array wouldn’t work.
Once the teleportation route was established, it would take just a few minutes to reach the star system several light-years away.
“Captain, how much farther?”
“Everyone, keep up the effort! In another ten years, we’ll complete our mission,” the man called captain said to everyone.
The captain of this exploration team was named Shi Qian’an.
This expansion team had more than three hundred fifty members, among whom three were mid-stage Divine Transformation and ten were in early stage of Divine Transformation, while the rest were late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Among these team members, there was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator named Li Hongjun, who had joined the team thirty years ago.
“Hongjun, after this expansion mission, I plan to take a good rest for a hundred years. What about you?”
In the starry sky, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator asked Li Hongjun.
This cultivator named Li Hongjun actually had another name: Li Xiaojun!
Thirty years ago, after tiring of hunting the beast tribe, Li Xiaojun came to the Human Race border to join an exploration team.
His goal was simple: to experience the process of Human Race exploring the starry sky.
The establishment of a teleportation route required countless people and years to succeed.
Once the teleportation route was established, they still had to wait for the interstellar teleportation array to be successfully set up and for the teleportation function to be operational for it to be considered a success.
“For me? After this expansion is complete, I might join the exploration team; my dream is to discover a life planet,” Li Xiaojun smiled and replied to the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The exploration team primarily aimed to reach unknown star systems as quickly as possible, find planets within those star systems, and set up interstellar teleportation arrays on them.
When the interstellar teleportation array was activated, a teleportation route would appear.
On that teleportation route, the presence of interstellar dust or meteors would prevent the interstellar teleportation array from functioning.
So, the next task was for the expansion team.
The expansion team would follow the guidance of the interstellar teleportation array to clear all debris from the route, so the array could operate normally.
Li Xiaojun indeed wanted to join the exploration team, as he planned to search for Earth in the future.
For now, it was also a time to gain experience.
“Not good, there’s a beast tribe spaceship.”
“Hurry and call for help!”
While the expansion team was working on the teleportation route, someone suddenly spotted the trace of a beast tribe spaceship.
On the Human Race border, both the Human Race and the beast tribe were exploring and expanding their territories.
Upon hearing that beasts were coming, everyone quickly gathered and watched the beast tribe’s movements warily.
The speed of the beast tribe’s spaceship was very fast. Even though the Human Race had flying devices, escaping from the pursuit of the beast tribe’s spaceship in a short time was nearly impossible.
In this situation, they could only wait for the beast tribe’s spaceship to pass or come to a stop.
Then they would decide whether to fight or flee.
As everyone watched the beast tribe spaceship with caution, it soon began to slow down.
Not long after, the beast tribe spaceship disappeared, and a group of beasts came flying toward the Human Race with powerful inertia.
“Not good, there are Integration stage beasts among them.”
“Run!”
In the next moment, the Human Race made a decision.
That was to scatter and flee.
In such a situation, if they all ran together, the outcome could be that none would survive.
By scattering, the Integration stage beast could only target one, making it impossible to kill everyone.
